So every sent message looks white on bright green or just the ones sent over SMS/MMS (I.e. to Android users)?


Messages sent via SMS/MMS are green, messages sent via iMessage are blue.

If you send a message via SMS/MMS to an iPhone user, it's green.

There is no detection if the user on the other end is an Android user.


So it's a default.


Are you saying the default phone that users go out and buy, is an iPhone?


No, green is the default.


Blue is the default, because iOS always tries iMessage first in preference to SMS.


There's a setting for that too.


No.
